Homeless with a son, Chris Gardner slept in a public bathroom before becoming a multi-millionaire
When Chris Gardner, then 27-year-old separated from his girlfriend, he found himself homeless with a little son. He and his young son resorted to sleeping on the floor of a public toilet because he could not afford a rent and a decent meal.
He raised his son on the streets in San Francisco while training at a major brokerage firm. However, Gardner managed to keep his homelessness a secret from his co-workers and bosses.
